This was the Indian food feast Boo and I enjoyed while watching the end of So You Think You Can Dance (my prediction was right!)

The naan was the most nummiest

Especially with the Dark Shiner

Then, today while browsing through FoodGawker I saw Banana Fritters that had been linked from Salt and Tumeric. I needed to make them NOW. So I did. Though, I did “dessert” them up by adding some powdered sugar and chocolate sauce.

And look!! I am learning how to use the macro setting… sort of

This weekend Boo and I are off to Hawaii for a family wedding (no not ours). We’re staying a fancy resort so maybe we will be able to get fancy veg resort food. Though, if memory serves, vegetarian/vegan food is not easy to come by on Oahu. Let’s hope the hoighty and the toighty of the resort has better choices than I remember from Waikiki.

I just spent the better part of the day (I started at 10:30ish) making an Indian food feast to eat tonight while Boo and I watch the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance (I had to avert my eyes on that link to avoid any east coast spoilers!!). We love this show. I don’t remember them announcing that they got renewed, so it may be the last season for them. Seasons 2 and 3 were far better than this one and I would understand if it got cancelled. However, we could have just missed the announcement. edit: I predict the winner will be Joshua (6:53pm PDT!).

We do “no TV Wednesday” because we watch so much television. We DVR the performance show and watch it before the results show on Thursday. So a three hour So You Think You Can Dance extravaganza.

I digress. I made Chana Masala, Aloo Palak and Urud Dahl. I also will be cooking up the Garlic Naan when Boo gets home because it’s best right after frying.

Of course, all of these will be made without the coriander leaves (or as we know it here in the states - The Dread Herb - cilantro). I loveIndian food but they use so much of that, it’s hard to find an Indian restaurant that I like.

I will take pictures, but Indian food always comes out looking like unattractive mush when I take the pic so, I’m not sure I’ll post it. The naan I will post though. I have made this recipe before and it was to die for.

Now I am going to shower (working in the kitchen all day on a wam day is extremely sweat-inducing) and have a Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. Boo and I love Shiner Bock and when we saw their dark brew in Ralph’s, we just had to try it. We’ve bought this three times in a row I think. Usually we are more adventurous, but this is some yummy beer. Yeah, yeah, it’s a Texas beer. What-eeeeeevvvveerrr.
